SOMETIME COMEDIAN ROWAN ATKINSON may believe he has cornered the market on jokes involving the surname Darling, but I imagine that one can squeeze yet another one out, particularly after the joke budget the canny Scot came up with yesterday. We never expect good news when we are watching people who have our money tell us what they will do with our money and how much more of our money they want from us next time. Particularly when we know that what they will do with it will be to feather their own nests.
IT WOULD BE NICE, HOWEVER if these people were mildly attractive or sexy, rather than looking like a startled puppet from something created by Gerry Anderson. I admit that the taxman in the UK is not going to get his grubby paws on much of my money, as I live abroad, but if I were the one being robbed I would like to be robbed by someone who looks a bit nicer, like Berlusconi's European cabinet.
MEANWHILE, ECOLOGY AND “GREEN ISSUES” have even taken hold of the linguistic aspect of politics. We constantly hear about “green shoots” of recovery and “sowing seeds” for the future. Let us see whether April’s budget brings us the darling buds of May.
